  Article 125-Oath  
  Canon 2261  
  An Oath is a solemn appeal to the Divine Creator by invocation and the presence of at least two witnesses that a pronouncement is true or a promise binding.  
  Canon 2262  
  An oath is only a valid oath when it is sworn in recognition of the rights of all men and women as Sponsors to Persons present within the court including the spirit of the living law and includes a pledge to speak honesty before the court. The touching of any object during such swearing is materially irrelevant to the validity of any oath.  
  Canon 2263  
  The living law is present in a valid court of law when all words are given under oath. When officers of the court do not properly give oath, the living law is absent, even if all parties and witnesses show respect and due process of law  
  Canon 2264  
  A man or woman of good standing before the law is any man or woman having sworn an oath before the court, having been found to demonstrate respect for the living law and due process of law.  
  Canon 2265  
  No one shall be denied the right to swear an oath before a valid court.  
  Canon 2266  
  An oath extorted by malice, force, or grave fear is null by the law itself.  
  Canon 2267  
  No one should be heard within a valid court unless they have previously sworn a valid oath for that case. Furthermore, no testimony in written or oral form is valid unless a valid oath has previously been sworn.  
  Canon 2268  
  The breaking of an oath, especially by any officer of the court, is a most serious offence which must be treated as the gravest of injury to the living law.
